extend.sile's Introduction

extend.sile

A bunch of changes and new packages for the SILE typesetting system I've making for personal use. The name is to be changed to a more creative one, someday...

My goal is to actually make books with this extension.

Although it's a personal project, PRs are welcome.

All details are still to be written in the documentation...

Installing

Just run luarocks --local install extend.sile, or clone this repository and then run luarocks --local make.

Requirements

I can't tell whether it works with older versions of SILE... LuaRocks will automatically install the dependencies if you don't have them yet:

extend.sile's Issues

/usr/bin/lua: /home/user/.sile/default.toml: No such file or directory!

Why does it need a ``~/.sile` directory?

"You are in 'detached HEAD' state." after installing through luarocks....

Add support to multiple config files

Besides default.toml in the LuaRocks installation and settings.toml in the working directory, it should be a folder .sile in the home directory.

default.toml (which comes with the rock)
~/.sile/default.toml
./settings.toml

This way one would be able to overwrite anything in default.toml without having to copypaste the same settings.toml to every new project. And thus the settings.toml file would be used only for style changes specific for given project.

How should layouts be?

I'm unsure about some features and whether layouts should or not have them...

should default.toml have a fonts table or just the layouts?

And about the classes... Why should something go to a classes instead of a layout or vice-versa? Maybe a class could only deal with commands whereas the layouts have the task of handling every style-related option?
